“This was our first time leaving our dog with a non-family member and I can't overstate how happy we were with Cathy. She sent us daily pictures with text updates as to how our dog was doing which put our minds at ease. From the time we met her we could just tell how much she loved animals. The most important thing is we are pretty sure that our dog enjoyed his stay. He did not come home stressed out as he has in the past from staying at other boarders. We think he almost misses playing and interacting with Cathy's other dog Maddie and the kids. We would and plan on using Cathy again in the future and would certainly recommend her to anyone.”
“Lona and Alan took such great care of my Goldendoodle! They were very kind, stayed in touch with regular updates and pictures, and were super responsive anytime I checked in. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”
“Our pup seemed to have an amazing time staying with April and her family! I got frequent updates with pics and was so happy Tucker was able to spend the weekend in a home with another dog and kiddos so he wasn’t too bummed to be away from home. Highly recommend! ?”
“We left our Malamute with Mackenzie for a week while we were on a cruise. We had a delayed flight and had to leave him an extra day last minute and they were helpful in letting him stay no problem. When we got him back he was as happy as could be so I could tell that he had a great time and was very well taken care of!”
“Gizmo is so at home with Rebecca. He feels just like one of the family with her. We are so grateful to have a sitter who takes such great care of him! Rebecca is excellent!”
“John & Rachel were amazing! Our dog was very happy with them and got along well with their dog. They sent several photos and updates and were quick to reach out with concerns. We will definitely use them again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about this family! We felt totally at ease while we were out of town because immediately we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have a basset hound mix and a Great Dane and they handled both with ease! We booked them for 3 additional trips the same day we picked our dogs up from the first stay. I highly recommend them!”
“Laurie was so welcoming to our Jojo, and although this first visit was somewhat stressful to our girl, Laurie continued to yry to make her comfortable. We're so appreciative of all the communication and helpful ideas for future visits. The pictures helped ease our stress as well. Definitely will be seeing Laurie again!”
“I can't thank Gail and Dog Vacay enough!! Right from the meet and greet I knew I had picked the best. Our 12 year old Aussie/Collie mix Sydney felt so at home immediately. Gail's comfortable home let Sydney keep up with her daily pastimes: sleeping on the sofa and looking out the window! :) Sydney takes daily meds which were administered with no problem. Gail sent updates and even pictures to us that made my vacation more relaxed too. Gail's other little border gave Sydney a fun friend. I'm not sure Sydney wanted us to come home! Gail is a teriffic lady and was a great surrogate mom for Sydney. Thanks again- Christine B.”
“We have used so many dog sitters over the years and Rhonda was the absolute best! She gave our dog so much attention. She sent us videos and pictures showing us he was having the time of his life! She has a huge backyard that he loved to run around in. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and fun place for their pup to stay!”
“Taylor was great! She was very responsive and did such a great job taking care of Harold! She was very flexible with her drop off and pick up schedule, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“Our pup was well taken care of while he stayed with Lori! We loved getting the daily photos of our dog and always felt like our dog was loved and happy. Lori was easy-going and open to my instructions for the pup. Elwood and one other dog were guests to Lori and her two small dogs - I could tell that my dog loved being with other dogs. We picked up our dog this afternoon and he didn't want to leave! Thank you Lori for taking such good care of Elwood!”
“Second time using MacKenzie and the dogs again came home happy! Love that she has the option for drop off / pick up! Love that we have found a trusted professional to watch our girls when we travel! One less thing to stress about!”
“My shy fearful dog who is afraid of her shadow was shivering in the back seat until Ashley started talking to her and she jumped right out. I couldn't have been happier. She's our dog whisperer now! We will be booking again soon!”
“Joy was in Laura's excellent care during our week-long trip, and we couldn't be happier! Laura sent us daily updates and adorable photos, which gave us great peace of mind. She genuinely loves pets and took wonderful care of Joy, even crafting a special blanket for her. Laura is truly wonderful, and I highly recommend her to care for your furry family members!”
“Sharon and Glen had me feeling so comfortable when caring for my sweet pup. They constantly gave me updates and photos. They have two sweet dogs that were very precious and kind. I would recommend hiring them!”

“Sierra did a wonderful job of taking care of our kitties while we were out of town! She also went above and beyond by offering to bring mail & packages inside. She is very sweet and communicative, and our cats (the ones who didn’t hide) loved her. 😊 100% recommend.”
“Caitlin is just the best! She is so thoughtful and takes great care of out fur babies when we are out of town. She does a fantastic job keep us up to date with our pets when we are away.”
“Olivia took care of our 4 cats while gone on a long vacation. She was very thorough and played with them to make them happy. She went the extra mile by bringing in mail, watering plants, and feeding my fish! My cats absolutely loved seeing her. 10/10 would recommend Olivia!”
“Raelee was amazing with my puppy, Wrigley. She was on time, dedicated time to helping with inconveniences, and was very communicative! I will recommend her a million times over and over, she’s the best!”
“Robin was SO wonderful. I would trust her with my babies again any day! She was very open, caring, and treated my kitties as they were her own! She left the most detailed notes (can see the nurse shining through haha). She not only made sure my cats were well, had some play, were fed/watered, & were clean/brushed, but also she made sure they didn’t destroy my apartment & their boxes & pee pads stayed fresh. She even took the trash out and brought my old lady cat some senior food 😭😭 SOOO SWEET! Everything went smoothly as far as the booking, planning, meet & greet, etc. I missed my babies, but I did not stress about them once while gone! Thank you so much Robin!”
About: Hi! I’m Kelly, a lifelong animal lover who will treat your pets like family. 🐾❤️ I’m caring, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’ll make sure your fur babies feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away and keep you updated with plenty of pictures! 🐶🐱
About: I loved animals ever since I was a kid and currently care for two rodents of my own named Orchid and Meadow. I often petsit for my family and friends and have taken care of a wide variety of animals. I've taken care of pets of all ages from puppies and kittens to my senior dog currently who suffers from dementia. I am very patient and licensed CNA so I know how to handle a mess. My grandmother has two cats, which I have petsit for repeatedly and both have very different yet chaotic personalities that I love dearly.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and chinchillas. We have had animals of all different ages and breeds so I’m accustom to big or little animals. I love hanging out with animals and looking forward to an opportunity to help you I play professional soccer so I am free the most days, besides in the morning. So, I am pretty flexible and available most of the time. I want to accommodate the needs of whatever you need. I have been around pets all my life and all have had different care and needs.
“If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!”
“Our shy kitties loved their visits from Gaby, she made sure they were well loved, fed and taken care of while we were away, which we are so appreciative of! They were in great hands!”
About: I've always been an animal lover for as long as I could remember! I’ve worked in various animal clinics and emergency centers. I am taking a step back from working full time. I am working part time in order to transport my children to school. I am always open on weekends, my availability is also very flexible during the week! We recently moved and bought land! So my 3 dogs have lots of room to run around whenever they want. There tails are always wagging and thats all the matters to me.
About: If I had to describe myself, I'd say I'm a bit of a Disney princess—animals just seem to warm up to me. 😊 While I've never personally owned a cat, I've cared for cats from 20+ different families over the past 10 years, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from the social "pet me immediately" type to the shy "I'll watch you from across the room for three days" type. I believe every cat deserves to be cared for on their terms. Whether that means sitting quietly while they decide if I'm trustworthy, playing with their favorite toy, sticking to a strict feeding routine, or simply making sure they have a calm, clean, stress-free environment while you're away, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I know how important updates are when you're missing your pets, so I make it a point to send plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy, healthy, and well cared for. My goal isn't just to stop by and refill a food bowl—it's to make your cat feel as safe and comfortable as possible until you're home.
About: I adore cats and have a strong understanding of their needs. I’m the parent of two elderly cats, so I’m very familiar with the extra care that comes with caring for senior pets. Administering medications, keeping litter boxes clean, and cleaning up after accidents are all things I’m comfortable with. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to give them the patience, attention, and care they deserve.

“I cannot recommend Lona & Alan enough! They took such amazing care of my dogs. From the daily updates and photos to their attentive care, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Gail was very personable and knowledgeable about animal behavior. She handled my dogs with great care and they felt very comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to utilize her services again.”
“She is amazing and my puppy loves to see her!! She is ready to watch your pup and knows when your in a hurry to get to your next stop. If you want your pup to get the best care she is excellent!!!”
“Melissa was fantastic!! Our boy Lando had a great time. When we dropped him off we could tell he would be in good hands. Melissa was even able to keep Lando a little while longer than originally planned on short notice. We would absolutely trust her to watch Lando again!!”
“Sarah was amazing. This was our first time with a Rover and Lexi felt comfortable and apparently did well. I appreciate Sarah being patient with Lexi as she navigates our new schedule and doggy daycare.”
“Lori was great! It was the first time leaving my puppy and she was patient, answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable. She sent and couple of pictures and updates during the day which really helped. I would recommend!”
“Nathan was great! Quick to respond and took our little guy for daycare on VERY short notice. No communication issues and we would definitely trust him to pet sit for us again.”
“We cannot say enough good about Gaby and Harrison's care of our four doggos! They readily agreed to help us out over a long weekend with very little notice. They provided doggy daycare with pick up and drop off service. They were absolutely life savers and did a great job with our doggos... caring for them as if they were their own. We look forward to booking with them again on the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for and working with dogs for over 6 years, from puppies and high-energy dogs to large breeds and dogs with very different personalities and needs. My professional experience in dog training has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable handling everything from an energetic walk to a dog who simply wants to relax and have some company. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, boundaries, and the little details that help dogs feel at ease in a new environment. Whether your dog loves a long walk, needs some extra patience, or is happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I work from home every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Dogs staying with me will have someone around throughout the day, with plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also able to keep a consistent routine and give each dog the individual care they’re used to. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and supervised playtime. I prioritize a calm, secure environment and follow each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. My experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments also means I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog needs space, extra supervision, or a little time to settle in. I’m happy to use crates or separate spaces when needed and will always prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort.
“I appreciate Alex's incredibly fast response time and acceptance of my last minute request and time changes. Midas seemed to have a fun day and I got pictures and a video!”
“Caitlin took great care of our Corgi and Cockapoo. The girls had the best time and were exhausted when we picked them up. We will definitely book with Caitlyn again.”
“This was our first time using Christine for doggy daycare and I couldn’t be happier! She’s extremely communicative — sending thoughtful updates and pictures throughout my shift — which really put my mind at ease. Christine went above and beyond to make buddy and I feel comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches, and we’re so grateful for the wonderful experience. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs from a young age. Staying with me, they will get attention, love, play time and cuddles. They will also get to play with my dog Lexi. I work from home full time so I’m always here. I’m able to go outside and play with your pups or give them extra attention. I have a fenced in yard with locks on my gates. I have a doggie door and the back door is always open. I have a 5 year old pup that is very calming and caring. She has been great with other dogs. She is very nurturing and always makes sure those in her space are safe. I have a couple of stories I can provide about her. I am very hands on and constantly checking on my girl and will do the same for your furbaby. Safety is very important to me, not only for your furbaby but for myself and my furbaby as well.
“We are so pleased with this outstanding service. Our puppy Buddy (18 month-old Newfiedoodle) totally enjoyed his experience with Shawn. He came home to us happy and went back to Shawn happily the next day. Shawn was a delight to work with. We’ll use his outstanding service again next time we’re in the KC area. Thanks so very much for making this a great experience.”

“Our family was so fortunate to have had Sierra care for our fur babies! She is punctual, detailed, and exceedingly dependable. It is obvious, through her detailed notes and excellent photos, that Sierra is loving and caring to all of our pets (the photos showed the joy on their faces!). Equally important, Sierra always maintained the highest level of professionalism when walking our dogs, making snap decisions related to weather and other pets along the walking path that were crucial to the safety and well being of our pets. This superior level of care is difficult to find. Thank you, Sierra, for allowing us to travel with peace of mind in knowing that our fur babies were safe and loved.”
About: I've owned and watched dogs for years. I have also fostered dogs of all sizes and personality. I even worked as a assistant manager at Camp Bow Wow. I work well with all ages and I understand that each pet is unique and has different needs. I will give them the best care. I'm currently working for a small business, I get to work from home so I can adjust my hours to fit your needs. I have regular dog walking clients/ drop-in so I can be gone for a few hours. When I go to a client's home I will send the client pictures of their pets and give them updates. I make sure to respect the clients home.
“Hannah always does a great job for my two babies. She is very quick to respond and easy to work with. I’ve used her a few times and continue to! Her experience working at a vet clinic makes me feel more comfortable. She always sends pictures and I know my dogs love when she comes around”
“Second time we had Caitlin watch our animals. She is an excellent, thoughtful, and highly efficient individual who makes every effort to complete the tasks at hand and successfully communicate things to keep your mind at ease during travel. I cannot give any higher recommendation and (if possible) you should utilize her services while on vacation to take care of your animals. She is truly one of the “good ones!” Thanks again to Caitlin!”

“My dog loves Caroline! After his walks, she spent extra time playing with him in the backyard and loving on him. She had great communication skills and did an excellent job managing his sometimes leash reactiviness. We will definitely book her again if she is available.”
“Erika was able to meet with me on a moment's notice and was very reliable. She even worked it out to drive a little farther than she would have liked. Thank you Erika!”
About: Howdy there & nice to meet you, I am a kindred soul who has experience working in doggy day cares/boarding camps as well as volunteering hours at various local animal shelters. I am an aspiring pet groomer and will be taking classes for that soon as well. I turned my passion to vibe with furry friends into paid play dates. I am a natural care giver and would love to meet your little (or big) one! I work a hybrid in the field/remote job so my schedule is super flexible. I have to already incorporate my schedule around my rightfully spoiled only child (Lincoln, my 8-year old Husky mix). I also combine pet care time with my self-care routine for exercise/physical activity. (Work smarter not harder). I have a fenced yard/porch, as well as a doggy door built into the door that leads to said yard/porch and security cameras that cover the yard so we can always see what's going on. As well as various toys, treats, and walking equipment always available to all our furry friends.
About: 🐾Please note that meet and greets are required for all my services! Me and my boyfriend both work full time jobs so your pets will be alone for a few hours depending on your services you schedule with me. Also note if you book for a boarding stay you will have to provide a crate if your dog stays in a crate while your gone durning the day or overnight!🐾 I have taken care of all breed and sizes of dogs for a few years now. All my family and family friends have trusted me with their fur babies. I go to their homes or I take their dogs home with me depending on how they get along with my dogs. I have fed, played, and bathed dogs. I also love of them as if they are my own dogs. Not only do I care for dogs but I can care for all other four legged animals as well! Depending on the day if I work your pet will get 1 walk and plenty of outside time! If I am not working your dog will get 2 walks, hours of outside time and get as much enrichment to help their mental stemalation and energy! Starting in May on Saturdays I typically work at a race track until late, but I will go to your home prior to me going to the track. I have a fenced in yard and live in a nice Kearney neighborhood! We have several nature trails to walk on and a dog park in town! I do have two dogs but both are very friendly with other dogs and up to date on all vaccinations! There is also a vet office 5 minutes down the road that I take my animals to so if there ever is an emergency I will go straight there!
About: I love animals—all of them. I've had animals in my home since I was born, including dogs, cats, lizards, guinea pigs, and more. Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience caring for different kinds of animals, and I've found that understanding them comes naturally to me. Animal body language and communication are things I pick up on easily, which helps me recognize when a pet is comfortable, nervous, excited, or needs something. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, but first and foremost, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'll keep you updated on your pet's status to ensure you have comfort knowing someone is keeping a watchful eye over them. Currently, I'm unemployed as I'm awaiting openings in an electrical program I'd like to get into, so I have more than enough time to take care of whatever needs you may have! When caring for a pet in their home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I follow the owner's instructions and routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific needs. I also make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure, and I pay close attention to the pet's behavior and body language so I can recognize when they are stressed, uncomfortable, or need space. I treat every home with the same care and respect that I would want for my own.

About: Good afternoon everyone, my name is Alayna and I’ve been working with animals for over 10 years In many different fields even on a farm. I have experience with a variety of animals including, snakes, lizards/ geckos, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, chickens, cats and dogs. I work at a vet office and am very familiar with older pets as well as knowing how to do nail trims and baths. A couple good reasons I stand out from everyone else is that I have experience administering medicine to animals, especially cats, because I’ve been fostering them for about 5 years and I also worked at a vet hospital as a kennel attendant meaning I’ve been around all sizes of dogs plus I’m pretty great at giving baths. Another reason is that I’ve actually owned all the animals I have listed here so I have plenty of experience. My schedule is a bit complicated working full time as a vet assistant. I’m always available Friday-Saturday but other days is a bit difficult. Regardless though I’ll always find time the take care of your fur baby needs. Rather it’s a last minute trip your going on or a family emergency, your pets health and well-being is safe with me! When it comes to animal safety I’m all ears, especially when there’s more then one animal lose in the house. I take advice from the owners on how they’d like the animal to be kept such as if they wish to keep their pet in a room instead of free roam. When taking the animal outside, I will always be outside with them so no accidents are to happen. Before leaving the house, I always make sure to pick up or move anything the animal could reach they aren’t suppose to have and put it in a high or closed off area.

“This was our first time leaving our dog with a non-family member and I can't overstate how happy we were with Cathy. She sent us daily pictures with text updates as to how our dog was doing which put our minds at ease. From the time we met her we could just tell how much she loved animals. The most important thing is we are pretty sure that our dog enjoyed his stay. He did not come home stressed out as he has in the past from staying at other boarders. We think he almost misses playing and interacting with Cathy's other dog Maddie and the kids. We would and plan on using Cathy again in the future and would certainly recommend her to anyone.”
“Lona and Alan took such great care of my Goldendoodle! They were very kind, stayed in touch with regular updates and pictures, and were super responsive anytime I checked in. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”
“Our pup seemed to have an amazing time staying with April and her family! I got frequent updates with pics and was so happy Tucker was able to spend the weekend in a home with another dog and kiddos so he wasn’t too bummed to be away from home. Highly recommend! ?”
“We left our Malamute with Mackenzie for a week while we were on a cruise. We had a delayed flight and had to leave him an extra day last minute and they were helpful in letting him stay no problem. When we got him back he was as happy as could be so I could tell that he had a great time and was very well taken care of!”
“Gizmo is so at home with Rebecca. He feels just like one of the family with her. We are so grateful to have a sitter who takes such great care of him! Rebecca is excellent!”
“John & Rachel were amazing! Our dog was very happy with them and got along well with their dog. They sent several photos and updates and were quick to reach out with concerns. We will definitely use them again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about this family! We felt totally at ease while we were out of town because immediately we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have a basset hound mix and a Great Dane and they handled both with ease! We booked them for 3 additional trips the same day we picked our dogs up from the first stay. I highly recommend them!”
“Laurie was so welcoming to our Jojo, and although this first visit was somewhat stressful to our girl, Laurie continued to yry to make her comfortable. We're so appreciative of all the communication and helpful ideas for future visits. The pictures helped ease our stress as well. Definitely will be seeing Laurie again!”
“We have used so many dog sitters over the years and Rhonda was the absolute best! She gave our dog so much attention. She sent us videos and pictures showing us he was having the time of his life! She has a huge backyard that he loved to run around in. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and fun place for their pup to stay!”
“Taylor was great! She was very responsive and did such a great job taking care of Harold! She was very flexible with her drop off and pick up schedule, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“Our pup was well taken care of while he stayed with Lori! We loved getting the daily photos of our dog and always felt like our dog was loved and happy. Lori was easy-going and open to my instructions for the pup. Elwood and one other dog were guests to Lori and her two small dogs - I could tell that my dog loved being with other dogs. We picked up our dog this afternoon and he didn't want to leave! Thank you Lori for taking such good care of Elwood!”
“Second time using MacKenzie and the dogs again came home happy! Love that she has the option for drop off / pick up! Love that we have found a trusted professional to watch our girls when we travel! One less thing to stress about!”
“My shy fearful dog who is afraid of her shadow was shivering in the back seat until Ashley started talking to her and she jumped right out. I couldn't have been happier. She's our dog whisperer now! We will be booking again soon!”
“Joy was in Laura's excellent care during our week-long trip, and we couldn't be happier! Laura sent us daily updates and adorable photos, which gave us great peace of mind. She genuinely loves pets and took wonderful care of Joy, even crafting a special blanket for her. Laura is truly wonderful, and I highly recommend her to care for your furry family members!”
“Sharon and Glen had me feeling so comfortable when caring for my sweet pup. They constantly gave me updates and photos. They have two sweet dogs that were very precious and kind. I would recommend hiring them!”
“Susan and John took thoughtful care of my 12 year-old dog for a week. They updated us every day with photos and details of how he was adapting. I highly recommend them based on their attention and standard of care.”
“Another great boarding experience with Nicole and her family. My two dogs just love staying with her. She makes me feel so comfortable because I know my dogs are in great care while I am away.”
“Melissa and her son treated Papa so well we were worried he wouldn't want to come home with us. We feel totally comfortable leaving him with them and are so grateful to have found a sitter who takes such good care of our dog.”
